I find it highly unlikely that the kid had no idea that anything was wrong with his Georgetown admission. In most cases, the first step of these kids’ college admissions process was to fake a learning disability so they could get extra time to take the SATs. This gave the proctor, hired by Singer, time to correct their test sheet before it was submitted. Secondly, he was admitted to Georgetown as a tennis player, even though he didn’t play competitively. How is it possible that this kid went three years without ever receiving any email or paperwork related to being a student athlete? I bet he chose not to know what strings his Dad may have pulled. Even if you think he was completely innocent, legally speaking, the kid is a good faith recipient of stolen goods. He does not get to keep the stolen goods just because he didn’t know they were stolen. His recourse is to sue the thief who gave him the stolen item. I’d love to see one of these kids sue Daddy for wasting three years of his time.

Not technically related to money, but one of my coworkers is working from home and unable to figure out how to use their VPN to access their work PC. They have been using their personal email.

A few days ago I got stuck in a VPN catch 22. The security key I use to authenticate to my work vpn wasn’t working and the guy who handles that wants people to contact him via Skype rather than his phone. I couldn’t get on my company Skype because . . . No vpn.

Hoodwinker posted:The other eighteen were taken??? I'm pretty sure it's her birth year and cut off the last two digits just in case. Someone else also has a giant signature on all of their emails with "MICHAEL'S LOVING WIFE. HAPPY AND CAREFREE SINCE 2004!" and a randomized bible quote in a bright yellow font. I'm honestly impressed that they either found a way to randomly generate quotes in their signature or are manually changing them with every email. It is a level of tech-savvy that is way above what I expected of her.

Krispy Wafer posted:His victims totally belong in this thread. They got 'exclusive' access to investments that others couldn't use and that never went down even when the market sucked. They could have invested in boring index funds, but thought they were beating the system. Any pensions or charities invested in him were poorly run since there was zero governance regarding his investments. Pensions in particular usually have strict rules about where they can and can't put their money. hypnophant posted:Not saying the kid deserves an ounce of sympathy, but the universities created this problem by exerting so little oversight over their athletic departments that tennis coaches were giving away slots for 6-figure bribes. They aren't the victim here either, and they shouldn't be allowed to escape blame for their dysfunctional admissions system.

We just received a mandatory compliance test to gather information about fraud in our agency with Covid-19 funds. I'm not sure if this is an incredibly effective method of detecting fraud or just a hail mary, but it reminds me of the "Please disclose the source and amount of all illegally obtained income" section on your tax filings.  I really wish there was a way I could get information on what they are doing with the data for "I don't know" responses.

That is for hauling lumber most likely. For example you are buying 8' studs and you keep the tailgate closed. You put it against the tailgate and set it on top of the bar. It doesn't stick out the back so you don't have to flag it. Strap it down and then the wood doesn't rub on the top of the truck.

The fact this guy exists doesn't bother me, the fact that he wrote this does, seems like so much humble brag. 42-year-old retiree: 'I lost more than $600,000 due to the pandemic. Now I'm second-guessing early retirement' https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/per...s?ocid=msedgntp "Financial Samurai" posted:After taxes, we basically spent about $65,000, which is $25,000 more than we normally do. (The main reason our expenses increased was because we had to hire a doula — a non-medical maternity coach who works alongside obstetricians and midwives — to shepherd my wife through labor.) Seriously, he used the phrase "Keep on surviving"

SpartanIvy posted:I was sorta friends with a Doula for a while and you nailed it. Totally unnecessary but they did seem to provide a service for the cost. I was helping her move some stuff and we stopped by her office and they had what were like really fancy hotel rooms crossed with a hospital rooms for private birthings. Local Doctors from the hospital are brought in with their support staff and do everything there. Maybe I was a bit too harsh to call them parasites but I still believe they are unnecessary, but not necessarily useless. We had a reasonable use case for one as there was a possibility that my wife could go into labor early while I was away on a work trip and we have no family here so in that case it would have been nice to have someone be there who wasn’t a friend who would faint at the first sight of goo. But for an average doula we would have paid more than what we ended up paying for our insurance’s out of pocket maximum and two night private hospital room combined. There also seems to be an undertone or questionabke bullshit associated with them such as alternative medicine and anti-vax tendencies, just like with chiropractors and other woo professionals.

My wife had a doula. It was less than a G which included lots of personal visits and she was on call for whenever poo poo got real. Long story short, it was our first child and she absolutely did not feel comfortable with either of our mothers doing the role of coach. The doula provided lots of experience and thought of all kinds of things we hadn't. We were happy with her service and she still checks in on our kiddo and invites us to potlucks at her huge backyard. She was definitely someone who did lots of "woo" stuff, but she customised it to fit our "not woo" lifestyle by getting to know us beforehand. I appreciated her knowledge and support during an extremely stressful time. I never thought I would be defending my wife's decision to get one, but here we are. Bodies are amazing, and it was definitely the life-changing event people say it is. (Life is a disgusting miracle.)

Dik Hz posted:First off, congrats on your kiddo. I'm glad everything worked out for you. My friend's mom is a doula. I kinda feel that reducing stress and uncertainly while providing compassionate care is a valuable skill. It is probably unnecessary, but I wouldn't quite put it in the BWM category. Thanks! She’s 3 months old now and in the last few days she had a development spurt that graduated her from ‘cute but cries a lot and not very interactive’ to ‘genuinely fun to be around and doesn’t feel like she’ll break easily’. Crazy how quickly they grow. I was too harsh on doulas, but read my last post. I think a good summary is: Expensive, very likely to be unnecessary, but could be useful if in your situation you need backup. Shop around and beware of the ones whose spectrum of woo swings towards the medically dangerous.
